Ty Jordan was a 19-year-old running back for the University of Utah who died on December 25, 2020, in Denton, Texas.

Jordan had been named the Pac-12 Offensive Freshman Player of the Year for 2020 and was remembered by coaches and teammates for his infectious smile, sportsmanship, and positive impact. Authorities concluded the shooting was accidental, confirmed there were no suspects, and no arrests or ongoing investigations followed.
